That night, when they reached home, Xia Qi and his son did not eat. Even when Xiao Ya saw that Xia Qi had returned and wanted to look for him to play, Xia Qi ignored her.
Xia Jianhua was dizzy after taking the bus today.
The father and son lay down for a while. After they recovered a little, they washed up and washed off the smell on their bodies. Then, they went back to bed and continued to calm their dizzy minds.
On the 6th, the hungry father and son woke up early in the morning and made noodles to eat first.
After eating, Xia Jianhua pushed the bicycle out.
Today, the father and son were preparing to return to the countryside.
His father would be back in the afternoon.
The school had a meeting at three in the afternoon.
He would receive his notice tomorrow. There was a meeting in school today, although there was nothing important to talk about.
However, his father was not the principal. The principal had a meeting, so he could only listen. Even if his father was going to submit his resignation tomorrow, it would be the same.
"Grandpa, Grandma!"
"Hey, Aiyo, Baby Qi is here. Come quickly, let Grandma hug you. I haven't seen you for more than a month. Your dad is the same.”
Xia Qi was still on his bicycle when Grandma stood up with a smile and ran over to the door of the red brick house in his hometown.
At this moment, Xia Qi's eyes were filled with tears.
Grandma, and Grandpa, who followed behind her, came out with a smile.
In his memory, their faces were a little blurry, but at this moment, they were instantly clear.
"Aiyo, Big Sun, my good baby, why are you crying when you see Grandma?
Did your father hit you?
Come, let me help you beat him up.
Don't cry. Aiyo, baby, don't cry anymore!”
Xia Qi couldn't help but cry. His grandparents were very good to him. In his previous life, after his father left in 1992, he had been by his grandparents 'side until his father found a stepmother and bought a house. Only then did he bring him to Shanghai.
The feelings he had for her in his childhood, the sadness he felt when his grandparents passed away when he was in his teens, all exploded at this moment.
"Wow!"
Xia Qi relied on his identity as a child and cried loudly after being hugged by his grandmother.
Meanwhile, Grandma and Grandpa, who had rushed over, were a little flustered. While they hurriedly comforted Xia Qi, they began to punish their father, who had a dumbfounded expression on his face. Grandma even hit him a few times.
Xia Jianhua felt like crying!
Fortunately, he knew the reason and could understand Xia Qi's emotions. Xia Qi had told him about his grandparents on the way here.
So, although she was depressed now, she could only say that she didn't bully the children. They missed their grandparents too much, so they admitted to being beaten and scolded. They bent down to avoid them and pushed the bicycles to park.
......
"You brat, you said you could control your emotions on the way here. Now look at how your grandparents think I'm abusing you!”
Hugging Xia Qi again, Xia Jianhua mumbled softly.
Xia Qi chuckled awkwardly." Well, I couldn't hold it in for a moment. I couldn't control my emotions, but I'm fine now."
Alright, Dad, put me down. I'm going to see Xia Mei and Xia Qinglong!”
There were two children in his eldest uncle's family. One was his cousin, Xia Mei, who was eleven years old, and the other was Xia Qinglong, who was eight years old.
They were all extremely mischievous. As soon as they reached home, they fought to hug Xia Qi. Now, they ran to the pond not far from home and lay down to catch eels.
"Save it. You have to always remember that you're only two and a half years old. If your grandparents see me letting you go to the pond alone, even if there are two frisky monkeys, I'll still be scolded later.”
"Alright then!" Xia Qi nodded helplessly.
In fact, he also wanted to go fishing for eels. This was a childhood memory. Later, the environment was destroyed, and he went to Shanghai to study. Even if he occasionally had time to come back, there were no eels to fish for.
Xia Jianhua carried her into the house.
First Uncle and First Aunt went to the fields to work.
At this moment, Grandpa was weaving bamboo baskets while Grandma was looking for hidden snacks for Xia Qi, who rarely came here.
"Dad, I have something to tell you!"
Holding Xia Qi, Xia Jianhua stood beside his grandfather and said,"
"Hmm? Speak!"
Grandpa didn't stop, but his eyes were fixed on Xia Jianhua.
He had been weaving baskets for decades. He could weave them well without looking at them.
"Dad, it's like this. I have a friend who wants to buy some dried river prawns and small fish.
Give me one yuan per catty. I think this matter should be able to be settled.
The busy farming season hasn't started yet, so we can go to the river to get some water.
The only trouble was that he wanted to separate the fish and prawns. He had to pick them up, but he gave one piece per catty. This thing was sold in the town for one piece, but when haggling, it could be sold for 80 to 90 cents.
I was thinking that if I collected the eight cents at home, you could always help me mobilize the villagers to go to the river to get it. They would earn some extra money, and I would also make some money during the summer vacation. What do you think?”
"Which friend of yours?" Grandpa Xia Qi was very surprised.
"Actually, he's just a classmate from technical secondary school. Dad, you don't know him, but he's reliable. Moreover, the acquisition is a long-term one, and he needs quite a lot. The first time, he asked for 500 catties.”
Of course, it was impossible to transfer the money. In fact, this was an excuse in itself.
For the time being, his father did not have the courage to tell his grandparents that he was not a teacher.
It was very likely that his grandparents would scold him for being stupid and make him go back to his golden rice bowl. As for helping him contact and purchase fish and prawns, it was even more impossible.
Earning money and doing business were useless in the eyes of their generation…
Everything was of low quality, only the establishment was of high quality. This was no joke.
"You've already paid?
What does your friend want this for?
500 catties? Did his family run a pig farm? If he used it as feed, would he need to separate the fish and prawns?”
Grandpa was puzzled.
When he heard that the money had arrived and that his son could earn the difference, he was happy to help.
"Are you in a hurry?" He got up with a smile.
" It's urgent," Xia Jianhua said immediately." It'd be best if it can be done in two or three days. No more than five days!"”
The old man pondered for a moment.
One jin of dry ones would require about three jin of wet ones.
However, if it was only 500 catties, it would not be a problem to call a few more families.
"Sure, that's not a problem. It's not the time to harvest the rice yet. Every family has people who are free. I'll tell them and they'll be happy.
How about this, I'll go out now.
Also, after dinner, I'll get your mother to inform Baoguo. We'll earn some money to buy candy for the children!”
"Good!"
